The host team in Halifax is working hard to welcome you. Please, even if you are unable to attend, encourage participation by the members of your congregation. Four Program Streams are planned, which one interests you?

Theme Based Ministry – helping participants understand how congregations can (with or without a minister, large or small) use Theme-Based Ministry to help members deepen their relationship with the congregation and our tradition

Social Justice – how can we live our values and principles in our communities and the world and how can we make ourselves better known while we are at it.

Music: A Pathway – Music is a powerful way that members, of all theological perspectives can connect, with the deeper parts of themselves. Music and singing get beyond language and helps us to build community. Learn more and make music with others while you are at it.

Beyond Friendly: How your congregation can invite people into meaningful spiritual community – People often say they aren’t sure why those who visit their congregations don’t come back or stay around for long. Participants in this stream will consider the needs of those we’ve not yet met and how they can respond.
